From bd68a2a854ad5a85f0c8d0a9c8048ca3f6391efb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2016 13:32:55 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: set SK_MEM_QUANTUM to 4096 Systems with large pages (64KB pages for example) do not always have huge quantity of memory. A big SK_MEM_QUANTUM value leads to fewer interactions with the global counters (like tcp_memory_allocated) but might trigger memory pressure much faster, giving suboptimal TCP performance since windows are lowered to ridiculous values. Note that sysctl_mem units being in pages and in ABI, we also need to change sk_prot_mem_limits() accordingly. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
